Hayes & Harlington according to TfL^» , who are always more specific in location than the TOCs^▸ . It helps to know closer location details to assist in knowing what alternatives might be available

Not a good day for this today.

I had a meeting in Peterborough, and drove. Other attendees were stuck in trains on the ECML^▸ for a couple of hours as a result of another similar incident

I was at Maidenhead about 16:00. Warned of situation as I went through the barrier. Good flow of information on PA^▸ and screens. Location of incident stated as Hayes and Harlington.

If I had cycled Maidenhead - Windsor - Slough, rather than what I did I could possibly (?) have got back to Reading via Riverside and Staines but I doubt I would have saved much time.

At least we got home.
